It doesn't baffle me knowing that Trump hatred is a serious mental disorder.
Famed Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson is baffled by why so many Americans love to hate former President Trump.
Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, is a polarizing figure. He is absolutely beloved by his base but passionately despised by many on the far-left. Peterson believes elitists throughout America are simply peeved that the brash businessman from Queens has been so successful.
"The degree of animosity that people have for Trump is actually somewhat of a mystery to me. I can't quite crack it. There's a class thing there, I would say. Elitist people are annoyed that someone like Trump, or someone who they think Trump is, has dared to enter the upper echelons of the establishment," Peterson told Fox News Digital.
"So, there's something about it that's very classist… and Trump is a brash salesman-y sort of character, right? I mean, he ran ‘The Apprentice’ for years. He's a huckster. And I don't mean that in a denigrating way," Peterson continued. "I mean, part of what's made America great is its ability to sell, right? And the shadow side of the salesman is the huckster."
Peterson believes "Trump straddles the line between salesman and huckster," which irritates liberals.
"Especially anti-capitalist, elitist leftist types," he said, noting that there have to be other reasons why the former president drives so many liberals insane.
"Is it Trump's rough edges? There's that. Is it his proclivity to bully, with which he does it very effectively and sometimes very usefully? It's that, he's déclassé, you know," Peterson added. "The elite types really hate that. They feel that he's contaminating their domain… it's very mysterious and there's multiple levels to it."
